Maricopa County Sheriff Candidates Debate Issues
During a recent debate for the Maricopa County sheriff position, candidates Tyler Kamp and Jerry Sheridan discussed the alarming death rates in county jails, attributed mainly to drug overdoses and suicides. Kamp proposed a task force involving medical professionals to address these issues, suggesting the expansion of body scanners and the use of medical bracelets for high-risk inmates. Sheridan, who previously managed the jail system, emphasized his experience with a jail intelligence team and advocated for a return to Tent City housing to control drug access. Both candidates acknowledged the critical role of low staffing in exacerbating jail problems. The upcoming election on November 5 is crucial as it will see one of these candidates replace Paul Penzone, who resigned earlier this year. Notably, both candidates carry controversial backgrounds, with Kamp facing allegations of sexual harassment and Sheridan's past association with racial profiling under former Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
